They discuss the recent abortion announcement from Jesse and Ashley Ridgeway, explore John Lennox's appearance on Diary of a CEO, and share reflections from Rebekah Heslop's powerful testimony. Along the way, they discuss friendship as a foundation for marriage, the appeal and dangers of psychics and horror movies, and how spiritual deception often works by mixing truth with lies.
